In addition, the dehumanisation of society is a consequence consistent with totalitarian government and its extensive control and is explicitly portrayed throughout both 1984 and Metropolis. Exploring the repercussions of authoritarian government, Orwell’s novel was largely motivated by the politics and rhetoric present at the conclusion of the Second World War and the onset of the overwrought Cold War. Orwell’s construction of a condensed form of the English language, Newspeak, facilitates the…

How incredible to think that this temptation is so great that the Lord will send down a flying angel to communicate this message to the people on earth. This speaks to the Lord’s awesome grace and love towards all humanity. He does not long for the death of anyone’s soul, but that they should repent and believe (Ezek. 33:11).

He realized that the best way to prompt his people to heed his command and obey his words during the building of the Tower of Babel was to confuse their languages. Why did he do this?

down the people who he would otherwise be grouped with. As he is arriving at a house to burn a woman’s book stash he says “Where’s your common sense? None of those books agree with each other. You’ve been locked up here for years with a regular Tower of Babel”, which is an interesting thing to say because as he is condemning reading and books, he is literally referencing the Bible.
